As more details about late night show host David Letterman’s affairs with some of his female staff members become known, there’s little doubt that
Letterman’s reputation isn't going to stop taking a thrashing any time soon.
Turns out, Letterman didn’t leave his favourite flame, Stephanie Birkitt, behind even when he went on holiday with his then girlfriend and now wife, Regina Lasko, and their six year old son.
Birkitt, who worked as Letterman’s assistant on his show, was drawing $200, 000 at the time, and the two enjoyed each other’s company on various other getaways too.
Poor Regina had no idea what was really going on, and thought her husband was just friends with his significantly younger co-worker, Birkitt.
The question is, did she really never suspect any foul play, ever?
In all truth, she did wait for a good 23 years for the man to propose, so she clearly isn’t too sharp when it comes to taking a clue.
Well, hopefully she doesn't feel like a fool for waiting around for more than two decades for a man, only to find out he wasn’t even faithful to her the whole time.
The lesson to be learned here?
Ladies, if he’s making you wait that long, there’s definitely something else that’s keeping him occupied. Move on, he’s not worth waiting around for forever!

Apparently there was more to CBS producer Robert Halderman blackmailing late night show host David Letterman than just money, as initially determined.
Turns out, Halderman had another motive – revenge.
One of the women Letterman had illicit relations with from his staff, was Stephanie Birkitt, Halderman’s girlfriend at the time.
Money was simply going to be a bonus for Halderman, whose main motive was to expose and humiliate his ex girlfriend and Letterman for all the distress their actions probably caused him.
While there’s no doubt that most people would like to get back at their exes and those they cheated with, blackmailing someone for $2 million is probably not the smartest way to go about it.
Mainly because it’s not going to be very constructive, because most likely you’ll end up behind bars, just like Halderman did.
The lesson to be learned here? Don't try to get even in dubious ways. Let it go. What goes around, comes around, so sooner or later, life will stick it to them.

David Letterman recently made a very personal announcement on his show. The 62 year old late night talk show host admitted to having slept around with a number of women from his staff.
Letterman told everyone that he was being blackmailed by someone who knew all his dirty secrets, and was threatening to go public with the information if Letterman didn’t fork over $2 million.
Letterman’s blackmailer turned out to be Robert Halderman, a CBS producer, who threatened to make a movie or write a book about Letterman’s adventures.
Halderman apparently owed a lot of money, and probably figured this was the quickest and easiest way to make some.
Unfortunately for him though, he was caught red handed in a sting operation, and was arrested by the District Attorney after Letterman went to the authorities for help.
Letterman had to come clean in front of the authorities, but at least his blackmailer was nabbed, and he didn’t have to part with $2 million.
All’s well that ends well, except for the fact that Letterman’s respect suffered a good thrashing. The fact that he owned up to his bad behaviour himself though, rather than being exposed by someone else, means that Letterman gets to regain some of his lost dignity. Whatever is left of it, that is.
